Oilers get swept?

**las8** · 06-06-22, 11:19 AM

Kane is a bigger loss. He's arguably been their best player this postseason. Kadri hurts the Avs, yes, but they did fine in the two periods without him last game.

Oilers get swept.

I'm hoping for a sweep so the AVS can be nice and rusty.

**Ra77er** · 06-06-22, 11:28 AM

Okay pimike, I'll bite.

I would say the Oilers did a great job of setting up for the postseason. Coaching change, limited minutes for Smith, no individual awards (we don't need no stinking badges -Donker), and quietly sitting in second or third in the division as the season unfolded. The problem is some rumors hit that the backup Goaly is going to Switzerland after the season (right at the beginning of the Flames series), Kane was largely unaccounted for and now is, Mike Smith has doubters amongst the talking heads, and the Oilers were criticized for lack of depth. I believe they have been hoodwinked in this series by Colorado thus far.

Bednar looks straight out of central casting for a noir private detective. The call to remove Keuper was clever along with the non existant injury to Kadri. Kadri does a fantastic job mucking games up. Now they will be rested and it shows whoever that the backup is also ready to play. I guess we can argue depth blah blah blah but I believe the Oilers are just as talented however the Avs appear to have been playing chess better. The media jumped all over Kane trash talking the Avs bench almost like setting the table to suspend him for a game. It has actually been interesting to watch it all unfold.

Well I disagree with you las but from a statistical perspective I can understand. Kane is there to take the light so the NHL can stop throwing individual awards at the Oilers. They seem to be trying to hand out Conn Smythe's to Connor or Leon in the second round and the Oilers don't care about individual awards. If the world falls to nuclear catastrophe, only the Stanley Cup will survive. Connor has to be on that thing. You guys know he is an amazing player.

**clockwise1965** · 06-06-22, 11:43 AM

Under.

**pimike** · 06-06-22, 11:48 AM

Kadri out for the full game.

I’m saying this will affect Aves more.

We shall see soon.

Good luck whatever you do.

Im not a hockey guy.

**GzaTheGenius** · 06-06-22, 01:50 PM

Avs probably sweep

**jjgold** · 06-06-22, 02:59 PM

This will be over after two. Take the Edmonton Oilers and over

Avs
Easy

**JIBBBY** · 06-06-22, 04:40 PM

Gotta lean towards the sweep at this point.

**lakerboy** · 06-06-22, 04:45 PM

Kadri done for the playoffs. Scumbag

Kane’s suspension is huge. He is the scoring king for them. Yet the line is only +115. This tells me something. Canada has pride and they will do everything in their power to not get swept out at home in Canada to boot.

But wait Aves will be without Kadri! Call me crazy but this will hurt Aves more .

These two guys out makes this very even.

I’m rolling with Oilers +115

I just wish Draisaitl was a little more healthy. He's skating like Old Man and the Sea out there.

Ain't backing nothing if Smith is GK

I hear you on that... he seems like he's all over the place at times.

Is oilers D and GK that fuking shit or this avs offence that amazing? I honestly now have no idea

Goalie and defense is utter horse shit. Even your average SBR slob could score on Smith.

**SEAHAWKHARRY** · 06-06-22, 07:28 PM

I took oilers +1.5 and took Toronto ML good luck

That's brave, if avs up by a goal with 10 minutes left I'm going to take a chance on -1.5 , oilers seem to go all out attack if they're a goal down like their Ds positioning is horrible at times

Edmonton just looks exhausted. Avs are clicking.

**MiDNiTe** · 06-06-22, 07:45 PM

B2b power play if oilers do nothing here it's a harbinger of things to come

**TheMoneyShot** · 06-06-22, 07:56 PM

Edmonton looks frustrated. Seems like defense keeps pinching.... and really no need to. Lucky to be down only 1-0

They are just a second slow at every decision. If they don't score soon... the frustration will set in even more.

**JIBBBY** · 06-06-22, 08:00 PM

Sweep looking good right now. 1-0 after 1 period of play

**TheMoneyShot** · 06-06-22, 08:02 PM

Refs need to bail out Edmonton.... give em a 5-3 PP lol it's the only way.

**TheMoneyShot** · 06-06-22, 08:04 PM

Really surprised Avs are only -280 LIVE. I know it's only a 1 goal game.... but it looks a lot larger.

**DwightShrute** · 06-06-22, 08:26 PM

1-1!

**WalkingLuckCharm** · 06-06-22, 08:43 PM

Goooooo
